2 or 3 today, my first RTFQ mistake
1) Farrakhan. No idea 2/2
2) Joy of Cooking. Wild guess, I can't believe i got this. Was convinced that Emily Post was a pseudonym and that this was probably her etiquette book, but I didn't know the name of that book, so I threw in Joy of Cooking as at least it was definitely the name of a book that fit the question. 0/0 because i figured everyone else would know the etiquette book
3) Mobius Strip. Yup, I put the name of the object. Hoping that since Mobius is first, Strip will be extraneous, but I don't really deserve this. Wasn't sure how to defend as this was mentioned in a question last year (Klein bottle), but my LL opponent got it wrong. Let's see if he did his followup research. 2/2
4) White. Just knew this. 1/1
5) Street. I have absolutely no idea what any of these songs are. So I took a shot that they were 90s songs, from Backstreet Boys, Blackstreet, and, um... other bands. (p.s. Reading Jesse's post, should have known Kansas, but not the others). 1/3
6) wheelchair racing. no clue. 3/1
Yesterday, Day 13 close call vs Pelco, 6(3)-5(2)
1) Brownian motion. Science gimme. Shame on you Ben. 3/2
2) Virgin. Branson owns everything else, right? 2/1
3) Lesbos. Aprodite, that's Venus. Any famous Venus statues? No? Then guess Lesbos. Duh. 2/3
4) Conjugate. middle school French gimme. Would not have gotten it from the math angle (no pun intended). 0/0
5) Lawful, chaotic. Chaotic was a gimme, but I had forgotten lawful over the years. I knew it wasn't order, the opposite of chaos, but that led me to law & order. Would've been very upset with myself had I missed. 1/1
6) Nepal. I made the U Thant connection, but didn't know where he's from. 1/2
